❤️ this from @deborahmacnamara
Parents have feelings too—lots of them. Sometimes these are unexpected, unwanted, and troublesome, but they will happen to us nonetheless. Sometimes we may even find, to our dismay, that we can also have temper tantrums and get stuck in resistance just like our child. Raising a child represents a unique opportunity for emotional maturation, but it won’t happen without some growing pains. Children can draw emotions out of us that we didn’t even know we struggled with. Like mirrors for our immaturities, they reveal our weakest places and introduce us to ourselves all over again. Do we like what we see? Are we disturbed by the image of ourselves as we look at our children hurt, confused, or scared? Many parents ask whether there is a way to get rid of all the emotions that flood, overwhelm, and tumble out on top of their young child. The answer is no, but it doesn’t mean we can’t take responsibility for our emotional responses.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Emotional maturity doesn’t mean a parent is no longer stirred up by their feelings in relation to their child. Emotional maturity is how we accept and make room for the feelings our children raise in us. As parents we can form intentions of how we want to handle our own heart’s contents. In doing so, we will likely find that a young child’s immature reactions push us towards becoming more tempered in our reactions. For example, a parent’s frustration is met with caring to create self-control, and fear is met with desire to form courage.... There is no other force like that of a young child to test our limits. Caring for them will call forth the need for self-control, patience, consideration, courage, forgiveness, and sacrifice. It is one of life’s paradoxes that as we grow our young children up, they give rise to the same process inside us. The synchronicity of growth in a parent and child is ironic if not beautiful. To ensure that this growth occurs, we cannot let our love for our children grow cold.
We need enough contact and closeness so that we can fulfill our parent role. We cannot outsource being our child’s answer to anyone else.

Thank you for this post @glowingheartssleepco
Happy birthday Baby-Led Sleep Certification!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve been following me for a little bit you probably know I am a Certified Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist! What you may not know is that I was part of the very first class that began on this day last year! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have so much love for this program. It is by far the best sleep certification that is out there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lauren (@islagracesleep) is amazing in all ways. She has built such an easy to follow course that is well organized and answers all your questions. When I was done the course I had EVERYTHING I needed to support families without the use of any sleep training. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But there’s more than a we’ll built course that makes this program so perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the community of coaches that you belong to that work together to help promote, uplift, and support one another in our individual businesses. It’s the feeling of running your own business with all the support from other women who are doing the same as you, but rather than competing with one another we’re building each other up. It’s feeling like you’re not in this alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have made some amazing friends as a result of this program because we all share the same fundamental values as parents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have supported as many families as I had hoped to support this year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have changed my entire perspective on motherhood and who I am to my children for the better and have all the confidence to BE their answer no matter what obstacles we face as they grow up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly, I have the confidence to enjoy the moment, trust my intuition, and follow my heart as a mom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are all things I want for all the families I work with, but I just had to take a moment to recognize where I got it all from too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So congratulations Lauren, and thank you for helping me to build up my business and be the best mom to my favourite two people I can be ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“If we see a child denying our demands to stay in his room at bedtime, we might treat it as a case of disobedience. But if we perceive, instead, a young child overcome by fears of separation or darkness, we would do what we could to make bedtime less threatening. If we see the child as resisting doing what he is told, we want to root out the noncompliance. If instead we see that a child’s counterwill buttons are being pushed by the pressure he feels, we would reduce the pressure we are applying.” Dr.Gordon Neufeld⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This quote perfectly illustrates what I (and my new sleep coaches) do for families. We want families to see their children though a different set of eyes. Rather than seeing the child as disobedient and applying a behavioural technique (sleep training, forcing the child’s face into even more separation, trying to teach them a lesson), we want families to understand that this is a relationship issue. That child is simply not ready for the bedtime separation and we need to adjust the relationship first. We may need to offer more proximity, we may need to help the parent shift into the alpha role so that their child can depend on them, we may need to offer more connection before bed to fill up their bucket. We need to move away from the behavioural approach that was dominant in the 1950’s and 60’s (hence why Ferber and Weissbluth and sleep training were so popular). This approach DID NOT take emotion into account, and we know better. Today’s neuroscience SCREAMS to us that we are creatures of emotion. It is time to shift our thinking. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Great post from @australianbreastfeedingproject #repost⠀
・・・⠀
Contact, comfort, connection and security are vitally important to your baby. Not in 'limited' amounts, but unlimited. Be wary of advice that should try and limit these important and most basic of human needs. 🤱👣⠀
Babies thrive on being safe, soothed, supported and connected.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Double tap if you agree!

Tired cues... I talk to lots of parents who tell me that they have no idea when their baby is tired, that they don’t see any cues. Typically we are expecting to see the tired cues listed in the books, like eye rubbing, yawning and fussiness. I always like to stress to families, as I do on all areas of sleep, that every baby is unique and they all have their unique cues. We often struggle to be present with our children, constantly thinking about other things or rushing off to a baby class or trying to cook a meal. In order to figure out when a baby is tired, you have to first spend some time getting to know your unique baby. Don’t look to the books, look to your baby. You will be pleasantly surprised, when you ignore all the books and advice, at how well you can tune into your little one. Some babies do rub their eyes and yawn and for others, that is a late tired sign. Some babies will stare off into space and some will rub their ears. Some make grunting noises, some make really ridged movements. Some arch their backs and some want to be held. The point is, every baby is different. Slow down, tune into your little one and watch your baby, not the book.
